About this position

This research-focused postdoctoral role sits in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology at The University of Queensland. The successful candidate will join an ARC Industry Transformation Training Centre on High-Speed Propulsion, Rocket and Launch Systems (HiPR-LS), contributing to computational research and development for complex supersonic and hypersonic reacting flows.

The project is centred on building novel multi-physics simulation capabilities for high-speed propulsion and launch-related applications. The appointed researcher will work on advanced model development and high-fidelity simulation, with specific technical interests including ablation, moving meshes, and electron transport. The role also includes maintaining and extending the Gas Dynamics Toolkit and supporting broader research-group activities.

The position is embedded in a collaborative environment that brings together HDR students, industry partners, and academic colleagues. It is designed to support impactful research output and offers opportunities to contribute to research projects, publish findings, and participate in the wider scientific activities of the group. Teaching contributions may also be possible for those interested in building their academic careers.

UQ describes a strong interdisciplinary and research-intensive environment, with world-class facilities and research support across its campuses. The role is based at the St Lucia Campus in Brisbane.
